  1. Yes, that's what I had in mind too. Firas often uses them in his cars.
  2. I like small models, I think you did a good job, very recognizable. And very curious to see the whole series!
  3. Yes, wheels covers could be a realistic option!
  4. I think that we need larger rims and 43mm tires, to have the low profile look on a model of the same scale.
  5. Very good looking model, and full of functions. I especially like the snowplow + saltspreader version.
  6. Why promobricks review is out since the set has not been officially revealed yet? Should we expect also Sariel's and Racingbricks' reviews then?
  7. 49.5mm wheels trucks are more 1:21 scale because real trucks are 2500mm wide and we build the trucks 15 studs wide = 120mm. If the Unimog is 2200mm wide, should be 13 studs wide to match perfectly with the Mack scale trucks. Anyway if you are building in 1:20 the scale will be very close The start is really promising, can't wait to see the final model!
  8. The new Bugatti is leaked on Instagram... black and yellow... and lot of new minipanels there!
  9. Cute masterpiece! I highly doubt 42147 will be better than this.
  10. Very well done as usual! Looking at the photos I'm not able to understand if you can open (and how) the side walls of the tipper body, especially when tipping on the sides. I'll try to build one for myself for sure
  11. I think we cannot use a single part as an example. Maybe they have a standard quantity of prime material (lime ABS "dust") and they spread it over multiple parts / sets.
  12. My alternative model of set 42139 is inspired on the old set 9398. The color scheme is almost the same, and some stickers of the all-terrain-veichle fit quite well. The model has basic functions: - Hog steering - double pendular suspensions - opening hood and fake engine - front winch The building instructions are available on rebrickable: https://reb.li/m/122398
  13. If it's like 2h 2022 we don't have much hope... I like your sarcasm
  14. Hey TLG where are the construction machines???
  15. I'm waiting for exactly those parts too and I think that one additional problem is that the inventory of the Ferrari has not yet been published on Bricklink and so sellers can't sell single parts either. Lego owns Bricklink and they're having the control of parts sales here too.
  16. The Volvo 42053, the Arocs 42043...
  17. In the list the release date is 01-08-2022
  18. Yes that's also my thought. And probably licensed ... Anyway, DBG is a more universal color than yellow, and nowadays almost all construction machines have black/dark grey actuators.
  19. Publish a photo with this one and the Lancia together!
  20. Very difficult choice! The loader is nicer in my opinion, but it is an "usual" subject. The Mecalac is very "unusual" and more complex and I think the arm is perfect, but I think there are some proportions are off, maybe the cab is too tall?
  21. The model is awesome, but I really think it is not a Technic model, at least it is not built in the Technic style, so I don't know if it will be allowed in the contest.
  22. Absolutely brilliant! Nice details in this compact scale.
